ABOUT US

We serve Woodstock, Vermont, surrounding towns and the Upper Valley region.

Vision

We exist to lead our communities through the climate emergency, empowering Woodstock and the rest of the Upper Valley to meet climate commitments and live sustainably through advocacy, education and collaboration. 

Founded in 2009, Sustainable Woodstock is a nonprofit community and environmental action and education organization that builds on Woodstock’s legacy as the birthplace of the modern conservation movement.

We help make it possible for people from all walks of life to incorporate environmentally and socially responsible practices into their daily lives. We work to fight climate change by reducing fossil fuel use, empowering reliance on renewable energy,  increasing flood resilience, and improving long-term food security. Our programs and initiatives empower local and regional communities to meet the challenges of a changing world.

We believe strongly that the intersection of the climate crisis and the movement for racial equity has made the connection between social justice and environmental stewardship clear and present. 

We are truly all in this together.
